It's big, it's fast, and it's white! I built her last night and this morning - in time for the commute. I have to clean and install the bullet-proof WCS wheelset before posting pictures. I commuted today on my spare Cane Creek wheelset.

I haven't changed the wheels yet but here are a couple pics. She rode fast and smooth until someone hit me with a drunk stick on the way home. I think it's headset related, couldn't keep a staight line over 5mph.
